Monty (Idris Elba) is struggling mechanic and single father of three from a poor neighborhood. Upon learning that custody of his beloved daughters has been awarded to his morally bankrupt, drug-dealing ex-wife Jennifer (Tasha Smith), desperate Monty enlists the aid of beautiful Ivy league-educated lawyer Julia (Gabrielle Union) -- whom he recently met during his brief stint as a chauffeur -- in ensuring that his daughters remain with him in a stable and loving environment. Despite the vast social and economical differences that divide them, Monty and Julia soon begin to find themselves unexpectedly falling in love with one another as they work together to save Monty's daughters from a life of crime and corruption. Now, in order to reconcile their blossoming romance and overcome the forces that threaten to destroy the only thing that Monty holds dear, the concerned father and powerful lawyer will have to bridge the gap that divides them by coming together to prove that true love really does have the power to prevail.

LG has produced some quality Android handsets over the last couple of years, but not many of them have been big winners in the US. Their devices often feature some "world's first" piece of mobile hardware, but they haven't been able to match the success of Samsung, HTC and Motorola. Could this be the year LG has the flagship smartphone for Android fans in the US?
This month LG will bring their best-of-best mobile technologies to their hero device the Optimus G. LG Mobile has teamed up with its sister companies LG Chem, LG Display and LG Innotek for the "ultimate battery capacity, viewing and user experience." The global version of the device will be launched in Korea in September, and we expect it will be available over the next few months in the US on AT&T, Sprint and maybe a few other carriers.
On paper, LG appears to have created the perfect smartphone. It has all the latest technology you could hope for, but that doesn't mean it will be a winner. LG has delivered some previous smartphones that we thought would be successful (T-Mobile G2x), but the product shipped with all kinds of hardware and software issues, and it left LG with a bad reputation among the hardcore crowd.
Let's take a closer look at LG and the Optimus G to see if this is the year to give them another chance. We highlighted five key features that make this product stand above the rest, and then explained why we need some extended time with the device before passing judgement in our final words.
LG Optimus G Key Specifications:
- Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro Processor with 1.5GHz Quad-Core CPU, Adreno 320 GPU with 4G LTE
- Operating System: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
- Network: 2G / 3G / 4G LTE
- Display: 4.7-inch WXGA True HD IPS+ (1280×768 pixels) / 15:9 ratio
- Memory: 32GB
- Cameras: 13.0MP rear / 1.3MP front
- Battery: 2,100 mAh
- Size: 131.9 x 68.9 x 8.45mm
- Weight: 145g
- Other: Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, USB2.0 HS, A-GPS, MHL, DLNA, NFC
1. World's fastest mobile processor
LG teamed up with Qualcomm to produce the first commercial and global smartphone with the new Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ8064) processor with a Quad-Core Krait CPU, LTE supported capabilities, and the newest generation Adreno 320 GPU. This latest chip promises to deliver 40 percent greater CPU performance, more than three times better graphics, and improved power efficiency compared to other quad-core chips.
Early benchmarks of the Snapsdragon S4 Pro show it is easily the fastest chip in both CPU and GPU performance. Other companies are also working on improved quad-core chips, but Qualcomm will have the fastest one available in devices this year.
2. Cutting-edge display and touchpanel
LG already produces some great mobile displays, and their latest technology looks to extend that lead. The LG Optimus G will feature a 4.7-inch WXGA True HD IPS+ Display with 320ppi high pixel density (1280×768 pixels) and Stripe RGB IPS Panel with 15:9 aspect ratio. The new display is sharper and crisper with color accuracy of sRGB 100 percent to show natural and life-like images.
This will also be the first mobile device with LG Innotek's G2 Touch Hybrid Display technology. This display is thinner than current touchscreen panels, and it offers clearer and sharper visibility, even outdoors. The screen itself is much stronger to withstand damage from impact.
LG's True HD ISP+ display consumes 60 percent less battery while displaying a white background, delivers 1.6x clearer images, and offers brighter outdoor visibility of two-folds when compared to an AMOLED display.
3. Next-generation battery technology
LG Chem developed a high-density 2,100 mAh battery that provides more power capacity and prolonged charging cycles. The capacity of the battery has increased 5 to 6 percent, and new battery technology extended the battery lifespan to 800 cycles at 80 percent charging capabilities. This is much greater than the lifespan of 500 cycles in regular phone batteries.
Combined with the low-power display and processor, the LG Optimus G could offer some of the best battery life we have seen on an Android phone with LTE.
4. World's highest resolution camera module
The Optimus G sports a mounted 13 megapixel camera, making it one of the highest resolution shooters we have seen on an Android device. LG's camera is said to use Sony's new stacked CMOS image sensor, which was slated to appear in the Samsung Galaxy Note II but then killed when Sony couldn't meet capacity. We will have to wait and see some sample photos from the LG Optimus G, but it has the technology to deliver some of the best phone pictures ever.
5. Nexus device or LG experience
It's only a rumor at this point, but LG is said to be one of the companies picked by Google to deliver a Nexus handset this holiday season. If that comes true, then LG should offer the most desirable hardware when compared to Samsung and Sony.
Even if the Optimus G doesn't turn into a Nexus device, it could still be a great carrier branded device with LG's Optimus UI. I have used all the custom skins (Sense, TouchWiz, Optimus) and have found that LG's is the least annoying. The modifications are minimal, and most importantly, they don't slow down the device.
Final Words
I recently started using the LG Optimus 4X HD as my daily device, and it is surprisingly good. I just switched from a HTC One X that featured a better camera experience, but the LG Optimus 4X has a cleaner UI, crisper display, removable battery, microSD card and faster performance. LG has also been consistent with the software upgrades, releasing a new over-the-air update each month since the device was released.
If I wasn't such a huge fan of the One X camera, I would easily suggest the Optimus 4X HD over the One X. I can't believe I haven't seen more praise for the Optimus 4X HD, but LG hasn't released the device in the US, and we have been more obsessed with products from Samsung and HTC.
As an Android purist, I would love to see the LG Optimus G become a Nexus device, but I'm not holding my breath yet. Even if this device comes to the US as an LG experience device, I would still like to get my hands on it and see if it lives up to the promises.

Last bus stop on Mayfield Rd to be upgraded
26/09/2013 09:31:00......Posted by Maria Gatland
The last remaining bus stop outside 103 Mayfield Rd will be upgraded to have bus cage road markings with parking restrictions. This will be marked with yellow paint similar to the other bus stops in the road. Following a visit to our Croham Surgery by residents I asked the Council to look into the bus stops in Mayfield road. This will make it much easier for the bus drivers and much safer and easier for passengers to get on and off the bus on a busy road.
First Steps for South Croydon Recreation Ground Friends Group
03/07/2018 09:14:00.......Posted by Maria Gatland
Just before the Local Elections in May Jason, Michael and myself held a meeting at South Croydon Rec to see if there was community interest in setting up a Friends Group. There was genuine interest from local residents in improving their local open space and for more community involvement in their local park. Yesterday evening we held a meeting at St Gertrude's Church Hall to support residents to set up a Friends Group. A big thank you to St Gertrude's who let us use the hall for free for this community meeting. We explained the process the Council requires to set up the group and lots of information about the other Friends Group in Croydon. One resident stepped up to the challenge and will form the committee and begin the process of setting up the Friends Group. We will support the committee in every way we can and fund start up costs from the South Croydon Ward Budget. We wish them the best of luck with this exciting project.
Fire Destroys Heathland top of Croham Hurst Woods
02/07/2018 11:47:00.......Posted by Maria Gatland
I was just sitting down with a friend for a welcome cup of tea after a morning work session at Croham Hurst Woods with FCHWs when a resident knocked at my door. She had been for a walk in the woods when she saw a group of young people on the slope below the top of the Hurst. They seemed to be vaping and smoking from what she could see but felt too frightened to speak to them. Suddenly an orange flame jumped upward. I confirmed through the Croham Hurst Dog Club app with many posts confirming smoke billowing from the top of the Hurst and the welcome news that the Fire Brigade was on its way. Only a week ago I had warned of the dangers of fire to this wonderful SSI ancient woodland following two call outs to the Fire Brigade for minor fires. Fires are strictly prohibited here with notices advising that throughout the Hurst. Three fire crews attended and had to battle until late in the evening to damp down the flames. Fires here can go underground and spark up in different places. The Fire Brigade were back yesterday morning and evening as the fire continued to smoulder. They were fantastic and have our grateful thanks. It's heartbreaking to see the devastation but nature always heals if given the chance. How do we get the message out to enjoy the peace and beauty the plants and wildlife without setting fires or discarding cigarettes. Everyone now can see what fires can do here and the danger it could cause to people, pets and wildlife and our beautiful Croham Hurst Woods.
Bin Collections Problems from Blocks of Flats persists in South Croydon
20/06/2018 12:39:00.......Posted by Maria Gatland
For many months now, well before the local elections in May we have been contacted by so many residents in blocks of flats who had no collections for weeks on end. What is worse following our interventions they received a collection only for it to back to square one in the following weeks. Residents contacted the Council with no result multiple times. Eventually we have received information from Council officers that data was incorrectly entered into the system or not entered at all so crews were not given a complete schedule. Why on earth has this taken so long to discover? Where was the oversight of the Veoila contract by the Council? When will the service to residents in blocks of flats and a local church improve? We have been contacted by residents again this week with problems with bin collections.

19/06/2018 18:25:00.......Posted by Maria Gatland
Last week we had the first meeting of the SNT Panel of the new South Croydon Ward
It was good to see a number of residents attend the meeting at Emmanuel Centre.
It was disappointing not to have a fully staffed team at the meeting. There remains confusion about just which officers will staff the team. I have asked for clarification from the police. We need a fully staffed team here in South Croydon.
Churchill rd residents improve local area

Residents in Churchill rd not only work to resolve issues in their road but in their local area as well. They are working hard to improve the gardens at the nearby St Augustines Church. Good to see.
Evicted Travellers now camped on South Croydon Recreation Ground
11/06/2018 08:36:00.......Posted by Maria Gatland
Travellers who had illegally camped on Coombe Lodge Playing Fields were evicted by the Council at the weekend. However I was alerted by a resident early on Saturday that travellers were now camped on South Croydon Recreation Ground. Once again the Council has to go through the statutory welfare assessment and the process of eviction.
It is a big cost to the Council and tax payer that doesn't end on eviction as a clean up of rubbish generally has to take place. Residents have reported litter and rubbish left on Coombe Lodge Playing Fields. I will contact the Council about the clean up.
Travellers on Coombe Lodge Playing Fields
07/06/2018 08:25:00.......Posted by Maria Gatland
Local residents alerted councillors that there was an illegal encampment of travellers on Coombe Lodge Playing Fields last weekend. Since then the Council had to apply to the Courts and carry out a welfare assessment that is quite a long process but are hopeful the travellers will be moved on by Friday. However local residents nearest to the encampment have reported broken glass thrown into their garden and loud music played at night.
No Graffiti Cleaning by Network Rail or Council under Croham Rd Railway Bridge
29/05/2018 12:36:00.......Posted by Maria Gatland
Walking under the railway bridge on Croham Rd to get to Croydon or South Croydon Station is a very unpleasant experience. Dark, dirty often with litter and fly tipping and graffiti. I have contacted the Council as I have done many times to request they contact Network Rail to clean up the area under the bridge. I am really disappointed that Network Rail have informed the Council they will no longer clean graffiti on railway bridges. Unfortunately Croydon Council will not clean it either as they claim it is too high. Jason, Michael and myself will see if there is anything we can do to get it removed.
First Meeting of new South Croydon Safer Neighbourhood Police Panel
29/05/2018 12:15:00.......Posted by Maria Gatland
Following the ward boundary changes and the recent local elections there have been changes to many of the SNT teams. The first meeting of the new South Croydon SNT Ward Panel is on Tuesday 12th June at Emmanuel Centre Normanton Rd at 7pm
The new email address to contact the team with any local police issues is
St Giles School Open Morning
29/05/2018 12:10:00.......Posted by Maria Gatland
I am really pleased that the wonderful St Giles School is now in the new South Croydon Ward
I enjoyed my visit to the school last week hearing about all the work done and a really interesting tour of the school led by two of the lovely pupils.

Creating Linear Equations in One Variable
Lesson 1 of 8
Objective: SWBAT create linear equations in one variable, and use them to solve problems.
Big Idea: We start with a focus on matching words to equations, and establishing guess and check as a viable strategy.
Not all students have completed this project yet (and therefore on time), but I take those that are ready. Yesterday, I made a big deal of the fact that there won't be class time for this today. Even thought this write up says I give it 3 minutes, that's really a maximum. The opener is already up, and I'm just circulating to get the project from students.
Submission rates have dropped dramatically from the last project as we begin to focus on quality, but we'll talk about that tomorrow. After school tomorrow, I'm hosting a help session for students who want to finish this work. Next week, students will have time to choose to finish this work.
Today, we officially begin our work on the standard
A-CED.1 Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.
For now we're only going to work on the linear part of this standard; the other functions will come later in the year. I say officially because we're not starting from scratch. We've been building toward this for weeks. To demonstrate the transition we're making, I use this opener today. It bridges the gap between number tricks and creating equations.
There are a few ways students may think about this problem, and I can count on seeing all of them in every class.
- There are students who have taken to heart the idea of working backwards, and who can solve this problem quite efficiently by doing just that. These students should be commended for their fine command of that strategy, and because they'll be done earliest, offered another challenge like, "What if you changed all those 3's to 4's - then what would the original number be?" or even beyond that, "What if you changed all those 3's or 4's to any number - can you generalize?"
- There are students who will try to write the algebraic representation of this trick, and if they're successful, they'll end up with an equation whose solution is the answer to this question. These students should also be commended for engaging in the important work that's happening right now. They are a step ahead today, because creating equations is the focus of our next few days of work.
- There are students who will employ a guess and check strategy, a subset of whom will do so quite vocally. These students should also be commended for having a good idea of where to start, and I am prepared to ask them questions like, "If you started with 9 and got 8, then what's an appropriate number to guess next? Why?" or "Can you spot any relationships between the starting and ending number.
I pay close attention to the strategy that each student uses, because this will inform the kind of help I offer each student over the next few days. On a whole class level, it's often the guessers and checkers that form the majority, so I guide the discussion in that direction. "Guess and check will be an important tool as we learn to create equations," I say. "It's always a viable option when you're not sure where to start on a problem, as long you make educated, rather than random, guesses about what to do next."

Group Problem Solving
With new groups established, we review the student learning target:
SLT 1.4: I can create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems.
Here's how that works. I ask for a volunteer to read the SLT aloud. Once someone reads it, I ask students to shout out the most important words in the SLT. I underline each word they say: equations, inequalities, variable, solve, problems. When someone says create, I circle it. "That's the verb," I say. "That's what you're going to be doing now. Notice that this SLT doesn't just say you have to get the right answer. It says you have to create equations. That's what we're going to work on over the next few days." We also note that the SLT says one variable, which means that, for now, each problem we solve will have one unknown.
In order to practice this new learning target, I say that we have two problems to solve. I enjoy telling each class that we're going to "work on a problem called Vanessa's Raise, which is about a woman named Vanessa who gets a raise, and another problem called Ed's Book, which is about a guy named Ed who is reading a book." In a world rich with contrived introductory algebra problems - all of which serve a clear purpose in an instructional sense, but might bend the laws of a kid's everyday reality - this kind of humor draws students in by making it ok to suspend disbelief and play with the math.
I use the fourth slide of today's notes to introduce the structure for today's class. It is one that will grow more common as the year goes on. I explain that I'm going to grade everyone right now by observation. "What I'm looking for is that each you is working to help your group make sense of each problem, and that you're helping your group persevere," I say. We discuss what this might look like: asking questions, keeping everyone involved, explaining your thoughts, writing things down, and not giving up are all possibilities. "The answers to these problems won't be obvious right away," I say, "so make sure you're doing your best to make sense of whatever you can."
I distribute one copy of Vanessa's Raise (from CME Algebra 1) to each table, and I project it on the screen at the front of the room. Everyone is working in groups of 4, although there might a group or two of fewer students if that's how the numbers work out.
I say, "I'm going to give you 10 minutes to work on this as a group. Persevere, and try to figure out whatever you can. In 10 minutes, I'll give you a hint about how to solve this problem.
The Hint: How to Guess and Check
Great conversations happen in these first 10 minutes, and I often see a new and excellent side of many students in this context. Usually, I don't have too many groups who can say with confidence that they've solved the problem, however, and even fewer are able to create an equation to represent it. That's why I take this opportunity to introduce a highly-structured form of guessing and checking, that will help students develop the ability to create equations.
I say that I'm going to give a hint by showing everyone a wrong answer. This gets everyone's attention. I say that I'd like to guess an answer to this problem and check it. "When I guess, I'd like to choose a realistic number that's easy to work with it," I say. "Is it reasonable to say that Vanessa might make $10 per hour?" We decide that it is, and I continue, "I'm choosing this number because it's easy to work with. I think it's easy to multiply by 10." If students hesitate, I might compare this to multiplying by $13.75 an hour, and they get the idea.
I also introduce the idea of "before" and "after", which I'll usually find in one form or another on the work of a student or two. If students have had this idea, I'll give them credit by saying that I got the idea using these words from those students, and I'll write those two words on the board. So before and after what, then? Students consider this, and realize that Vanessa has been offered a raise. She was making one amount before the raise, and another after. "This is something that I hope will happen to all of you," I say. "And when it does, I'd like for you to be able to analyze the situation, just like Vanessa does here." I record my guess and check like you can see here, and you can imagine how, after another couple of guesses, it will lead to the correct answer. Once this structure is set up, kids are excited to try their own guesses. My job is to circulate and make sure that they're still discussing the problem, recording their attempts in their notes, and having good ideas about what to try next.
Two More Points to Make, if Time Allows
- When I see that students are on the right track, I might take the opportunity to further develop functional reasoning by analyzing a pair of wrong answers to see how guess and check works. By comparing inputs and outputs, students can see what a reasonable next guess might be.
- I also like to emphasize the power of what Vanessa is doing in this problem. I ask everyone how excited they would be if their boss offered them a raise of $2 per hour and 8 hours per week. Does that sound exciting? Then we expand it out: how does $200 per week sound? How does $800 per month sound? How does $9600 per year sound? Changing these contexts can really emphasize the power of thinking like this, and might better inform someone as to just how excited they should be. It's a fun conversation to have.

Debrief and Homework
The debrief is so important when we're doing group work like this, and this is what the class will look like more and more as the year goes on, so it's important to establish it now.
Two key points so far:
- What role did critique play in your group? We just finished a project about this. So what can we make of it?
- It's ok to be wrong! In fact, you can learn a lot from it. That's why I shared by wrong answer - and I think that was exactly the thing that helped some groups solve the problem.
Homework is in the textbook and looks like the work we did today. You're given words, and have to write and equation or an inequality. We'll see how this goes.
To close out, I remind students of their homework tonight. It's a series of number sentences to be translated into equations, and it it great practice for all that we're doing next. I emphasize how useful this assignment will be for anyone who gives it a try.

wow!!! true story!! this number works 888-245-0625 !!!! i sent the application for a chase freedom card and i called the first time, spoke to a lady and she said my application was denied because of too many activity the past year and high balance on my current accounts. i tried to explain and asked politely for a review or any options. she wouldnt budge and sounded like she doesnt care to help. i decided to call a second time and this time a guy picked up. i explained again this time that i had more then enough time to pay it off before the billing cycle ends. about the activity i explained that when i applied for a macys card and a gap card i was told it would not affect my credit score but it did. they finally approved me for $4000 CL good luck to all!
So glad I read this post..The 1-888-245-0625 number worked for me also. I have banked with Chase for 8 years and I am in the process of rebuilding credit.
Current TU=686,EQ=663. Have a Capitol One NH Rewards cl=$500 but needed another revolving credit account to help establish credit.
Applied online for chase freedom, got an alert for a hard pull on Equifax that day.
5 days later I received a denial due to collection accounts (3) on my report.
Called the number above and the lady told me that I had 3 recent collections (within 3 months).
I explained that these were all old medical collections over 5 years old and that I had recently disputed them.
She said she could only see "Date Reported" and not "Date Opened".
She said that she could not help until I cleared that up with Equifax.
Called Equifax several times but after failing to contact a human, I decided to call Chase back.
This time I explained to the guy that these were 5 year old medical collections unpaid by insurance and that I was in the process of disputing them.
I also explained that I was a Chase customer for 8 years, had checking, savings,investment and even a current auto loan account that I have never missed a payment on after being open for over 2 years.
He said "hold please"....after 2 minutes came back on and said that I was approved, cl of $3,000 and should receive my card within a week!
Thanks for the info!!!!
That backdoor number really works...I apply for the Chase Freedom a few days ago and called to day for an update. I verified some personal information, held for a few minutes and was approved for $4,000. I'm super excited. 0% for 15 months.I can't wait to do a balance transfer.
To my knowledge they pulled TransUnion based on an alert. My TU score according to Equifax is 630.
What a great addition to my Discover and BoA cards!! Next year I want an AmEx. I have a Dillards AmEx but it just isn't the same thing.
Thanks for the number!!!
I called the backdoor number after applying a week or two ago and my app status still saying it's being reviewed.
The first time I called I was told I had been denied due to a collection account on my CR. I explained this was in dispute and had another account with Cap1 and was looking for a lower interest rate. He asked a few questions and then told me I would need to verify some info and transferred me to another agent. That agent verified my info and then approved me! So suprised I got approved with a 11.99% interest rate with my current score.
Called 1-888-245-0625 today to check on the status of my Chase Southwest Rapid Rewards Premier card and was told that I was denied due to a $773 charge-off more than 10 years ago. I explained to the rep that I got the card when I was a freshman in college and that my Dad took the card from me because I wasn't using it responsibly and I didn't have any income other than my financial aid overage check (all true). My Dad has the same name as I do (i'm the 3rd) and knew my SSN and basically kept the card and used it as his own, supposedly helping me build my credit... until he ran into hard times of his own and got my account charged-off.
I explained to the rep that the company I work with has switched our corporate travel to Southwest Airlines (a bit of a stretch... I do fly for work, but we book our own flights and get reimbursed afterward) and that having this card would be great for me as well as Chase. I let him know that I PIF to the CA and expressed a desire to establish goodwill with Chase and get a fresh start with a great company. (kiss-kiss-smooch-smooch)
He asked me a few questions, verifying information from my application... the main questions were about whether I rent or own, the amount I pay for my home, the length of time I've lived here, and how long I've worked at my current job. He also reviewed my current portflio of cards and noted the low & zero balances on each. After those questions, he put me on hold and I had my fingers crossed.
Once he came back, he told me that he can't guarantee that I will be approved, but if I was definitely declined, he would tell me now. He said to be on the lookout for a letter from Chase in the mail. First, I'll get the original decline letter that I can ignore. Then, I'm not sure if he said I'd get another letter stating that I'm being reconsidered... then get a third letter that says that I'm declined or receive a welcome packet & acceptance letter. I might have been confused about getting that second letter; perhaps the second mailing will be the declination or the welcome packet.
FYI, I didn't wait to get my original decline letter to call the backdoor number. I applied on 5/1 in the afternoon and have called every day since, just to check on my app status. Today was the first day that I was told I was declined, instead of hearing that I was under review.
I feel much better after having today's conversation and am happy that I've already started the recon process 3 days after my app. If not for this forum, I would not have known about this phone number, this process, nor had my credit profile prepared in a manner that would give me a decent shot at overcoming the Chase blacklist.
Thanks again
I got approved for the Chase Slate card for a CL of $15,000, then got denied for the Chase Ink card for my business, go figure.
FICO 660, Income $156,000
Woohoooooo!!!!! I just got approved for the Chase Freedom!!!! I'm so happy, and its all because of you guys. I have been reading the forums a lot lately and have really been doing a lot of reading. I applied for the Chase earlier and I got the "pending further review" message. I then called the backdoor number listed and I got this woman on the phone that I had a bad feeling about.. But I went ahead anyway. She put me on hold and came back , she said I was denied. She said the reason was because of a charge off with a Chase card years ago and a few latenesses back in 05 from my auto loan. I told her that it happened 7 years ago but she said it doesn't matter. I also told her that the Chase account isn't on my reports anymore. She really didn't seem to be helpful. I came home and read the forums some more, heard other success stories with recon's, so I decided to give it a go. The guy seemed very, very friendly from the get-go. He put me on hold and came back to verify some info about my employment and income, then put me on hold again and came back and asked for my address so he can send me everything!!! I wasn't sure if he meant he was going to send me the denial letter or the card LOL. He then said "looks like you're approved for $3000!! I was so pumped, I couldn't believe it. If it hadn't been for me reading these forums, I would've been sitting here wondering why I wasn't approved. But instead, I'm waiting for the card to come in the mail!!
I guess you can say Im in the process of building up my credit, I just got myself a Capital One Platinum, AMEX Zync and AMEX Gold Delta last month. But prior to that, the cards I had/have are Orchard, Orchard Platinum and Applied Bank. In the middle of the night one night I decided to apply for the Cap Plat, I really didn't think I'd be approved because I haven't applied for credit for so long and my credit was always bad. But I guess my score are good enough now! I'm going to relax for now and garden these cards and take great care of them. I can't wait to enjoy the benefits of the Freedom, it seems like a great card.
My current scores are EX (Plus score from freecreditreport) 661 EQ (MyFico) 683 TU(MyFico) 712
I just pulled the trigger on the Chase Freedom yesterday (and a couple others) and got the pending approval notice on the screen. I called the backdoor number today, 8882450625 and spoke to a gentleman that was helpful but very blunt. I was declined. I apparently have 2 collections that are currently reporting (CO's from 2005) and 2 that have not been reporting but are still showing (HSBC and CapOne). Aside from that everything seemed to be in order, UTIL at 37% (and he himself said the collections were hurting that score), and goodies on all current accounts. Current FICO through EX is 620.
My question is should I pursue calling them again and try to get connected to someone else? I am showing some pretty good success stories here, and was hoping I could be one of them!
Looking forward to any kind of insight you would be able to provide.

U.Va. Darden Strategy MOOC Enables Students To Help Entrepreneurs And Nonprofits
Feb 06, 2013, 08:48 EST
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The University of Virginia Darden School of Business today announced that more than 52,000 students have registered for Professor Michael Lenox's first Massively Open Online Course (MOOC) for Coursera, "Foundations of Business Strategy." The six-week online course, which begins 4 March 2013, will deliver lessons on the foundations of a successful business strategy. Lenox's MOOC is also one of the first of its kind to offer real-world experience by providing students with the opportunity to analyze actual entrepreneurial and nonprofit ventures.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100916/DC66431LOGO)
"Entrepreneurs, small business owners and nonprofits often don't have the resources to hire a consulting firm. Rather than have the students all analyze the same business, why not leverage their sheer numbers to do some good for others?" said Lenox. "Businesses and social ventures can benefit from the wisdom of crowds to perhaps learn something of value for their enterprise."
Lenox, who coordinates and teaches the Darden School's core MBA strategy course, is also executive director of Darden's Batten Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Keenly aware of the challenges emerging ventures face, he views the MOOC as a way to provide benefits to students, entrepreneurs and nonprofits. Students will gain the tools they need to conduct a strategic analysis, and entrepreneurs and nonprofits will learn from the competitive analysis that the students will provide.
For their final project, students in Lenox's MOOC will choose an organization for which to conduct a strategic analysis. Lenox encourages entrepreneurs and nonprofits to register for the course in order to be eligible for the final project. Students will select an organization through online forums and more than one student may analyze an organization, though an organization is not guaranteed that it will be selected.
Lenox is working with Rhodes Scholar and Oxford University graduate student, Nabeel Gillani, to analyze the effectiveness of this approach. Gillani's master's thesis in education explores the power of MOOCs to help solve challenges for others.
"The concept can be applied in any number of domains," Lenox added. "Imagine a course on graphic design where students prepare solutions for real nonprofits or a computer program course where students develop code for small startups with limited budgets. The potential is enormous."
Gillani is creating a platform to scale the idea called Coursolve.org, which matches organizations with courses to empower students to solve real-world problems.
Lenox's "Foundations of Business Strategy" course is one of three courses offered on Coursera, by the Darden School this spring.
"We are very excited to see how the Coursera platform is allowing our faculty to experiment with new and innovative ways of creating value for participants in their courses," said Peter Rodriguez, senior associate dean of academic programs at Darden.
Interested organizations and students can register for the course at https://www.coursera.org/#course/strategy101.

Dorian Green scored 22 points to help No. 24 Colorado State hold off Air Force 89-86 Saturday for its sixth straight win.
The Rams led 82-72 with 1:05 remaining, but the Falcons pulled within four twice in the final minute. Michael Lyons hit a 3-pointer for Air Force with 2 seconds left, but Colorado State inbounded the ball without incident to close the game.
The Rams (21-4, 8-2 Mountain West) have won eight of nine and dropped the Falcons to 11-2 at Clune Arena.
Lyons, the conference's leading scorer, had a career-high 45 points for the Falcons (15-9, 6-5), and Todd Fletcher added 11.
Air Force led 23-19 midway through the first half, but the Rams used their size to build a 21-5 rebounding advantage in the first 20 minutes and took a 48-40 lead into the locker room.

This post has been corrected, as detailed below.
Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are back with the FBI, and as "The X-Files: Season 10" begins its second arc, a fan-favorite monster from the classic paranormal investigation TV show's second season returns: Yes, X-Philes, Flukeman is back.
The Joe Harris-written "Season 10" comic series' sixth issue, "Hosts: Part 1 of 2," draws its name from the Chris Carter-written 1994 episode "The Host," which followed FBI agents Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) as they encountered a dangerous, horrific-looking creature found in a New Jersey water treatment plant. (Who can forget the presumed-dead Flukeman opening his eyes at the end?)
Carter, creator of "The X-Files," is the executive producer of the IDW Publishing series, which Harris ("Great Pacific," "Ghost Projekt") scripts with dialogue that feels like Duchovny and Anderson are delivering it.
Its first five issues saw Mulder and Scully living together after the events of the 2008 film "The X-Files: I Want to Believe." They are drawn into a mysterious plot involving her son William and shape-shifters that, in true "X-Files" fashion, wasn't wholly resolved and left fans wanting more.
This much is certain: The longtime partners have returned to the FBI.
That leads into No. 6, a natural jumping-on point for the curious. Hero Complex readers get a look at the issue's opening seven pages, seen in the gallery above and in larger versions in the links below.
Cover | Inside cover | Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3 | Page 4 | Page 5 | Page 6 | Page 7
The issue features a different visual team than the first arc. Elena Casagrande ("Suicide Risk") and Silvia Califano handle the art, with colors by Arianna Florean and color assist by Valentina Cuomo. Artist Michael Walsh ("Comeback") and colorist Jordie Bellaire ("Captain Marvel," the upcoming "Moon Knight"), who together worked on the first five issues, will return for No. 8.
Guest artists follow on No. 9 (Greg Scott, "Strange Attractors") and No. 10 (menton3, "Monocyte"), with an as yet unannounced artist coming on with No. 11, still with Bellaire on colors.
Flukeman fans will recall that the creature was played by Darin Morgan, who later appeared as Eddie Van Blundht and wrote several popular "X-Files" episodes, including "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'" and "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose."
Both of those episodes were selected by fans to be screened at this year's Hero Complex Film Festival, which featured Carter, Morgan and his writer-producer brother Glen Morgan, marking the show's 20th anniversary with a between-episodes discussion.
[For the record, Nov. 24, 10:35 a.m.: A previous version of this post incorrectly identified the writer of "The X-Files: Season 10" as Joe Kelly. It is written by Joe Harris.]

Which references this from the new TOS:
When you use the Service, we may keep track of certain information related to your use of the Service, including but not limited to the status and health of your network and networked products; which apps relating to the Service you are using; which features you are using within the Service infrastructure; network traffic (e.g., megabytes per hour); Internet history; how frequently you encounter errors on the Service system and other related information ("Other Information"). (...)
Unless I'm missing something this really seems like a "big deal".... cisco is pushing out the firmware update automatically to all routers (I'm unclear as to if they have an actual backdoor or if it's just models where people haven't changed the defaults) - and there is currently no supported way to downgrade.
Furthermore in the TOS
The Service features apps that are developed by third parties. (...) Some of these third party developed apps may provide the third party with information about your network or devices in your network or what media you are using or downloading.
While you do have to "opt-in" (though you used to have to "opt-in" for firmware upgrades and the precedent has changed there as well) for the services we have already seen what type of issues there are on android and iOS with applications re-purposing their authorizations for other goals (pulling contact/address book info for marketing, etc.) - and this is potentially a much richer (so much more tempting) trove of information.
This seems to me a very strong reason never buy a cisco product again - not so much the fact that they offer the service - but that they opt you in without any consent whatsoever.

PELOTAS, Brazil, July 18 (UPI) -- A lack of exercise causes 1-in-10 deaths worldwide -- comparable to the negative impact of smoking, researchers say.
The global study, published in The Lancet, found around 3-of-10 adults worldwide do not meet the recommended amounts of weekly activity -- 15-30 minutes a day of brisk walking.
Within Europe, Malta was the most inactive -- 71 percent did no exercise -- followed by 68 percent in Serbia and 63 percent in Britain, while those who were the most active were Greece, Estonia and the Netherlands, the Irish Independent reported.
Forty-one percent of U.S. adults, 34 percent of Canadian adults and 33 percent of adults in France were physically inactive.
Worldwide, about 1.5 billion people, about one-third of all adults, and 4-out-5 adolescents failed to do the recommended amounts of physical activity.
A lack of regular exercise increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes and some types of cancer by 20 percent to 30 percent, or 5.3 million, of premature deaths in 2008, the study said.

Yarimil Alba, a soon to graduate product of our department and Black and Latino Studies, has been accepted into the prestigious Teach for America program. In her own words, how she came to want to be an educator.
"In a society where government officials constantly undermine the education system it is of the utmost importance to have an institution that understands the necessity of attaining an education. Teach for America is an amazing organization upholding the value of education and making it possible for children in low-income neighborhoods to receive qualitative learning. It would be an honor to participate in an institution bettering the level of education for these children. Knowledge empowers. It provides children with the necessary tools to go out into the world and make a difference. I know the trials and tribulations of growing up in a low-income neighborhood surrounded by drugs and violence. Becoming a corps member provides an opportunity to give back to communities similar to that of where I grew up."

Buying a used piano from Alabama used piano dealers can help you save money and sometimes it is better than buying a new one. On the other hand, each and every buyer should consider some important factors in finding a great quality second hand piano in places such as Alabama.
Due to the fact that there are a lot of used pianos offered in Alabama, a thorough and careful research must be made and seek help from professionals to make sure that you are getting a great deal with Alabama used piano dealers.
Here are the four factors that a buyer should take into account when shopping for a used piano in Alabama.
1. Check the Condition. When shopping for a used piano, you should ask on the condition of the used musical instrument. You should ask questions like: Where has the used piano been? When it was last underwent the tuning process? It is also better to also to ask if the piano has spent any time outside the house or in an appropriate location. This can make a musical instrument have more damages such as soundboard cracking, damages on case and finish, separation of bridge, and damages on strings.
2. Examine the strings. It is important to find a used piano that is in good condition. Check on the strings and look for rust in the region of the tuning pin in which the string is wrapped. Also, you should examine whether there is any missing strings. Take time as well to see if the hammers are in stable condition. Make sure that they are not grooved very deeply.
3. Ask about the tuning. It is also recommended to ask the dealer if the has been tuned recently or how often it was being tuned. Remember that a piano must be tuned at least two times a year.
4. Know the price. The price of a used piano varies according where the musical instrument was made. A used piano that was made in America can cost higher as compared to other important pianos. Nevertheless, American made used pianos are known to possess quality and excellence when it comes to craftsmanship.
5. Inquire about piano moving. Once you have purchased your instrument and have it checked, you'll ready to take it home. But, you will have to settle first for moving arrangements with the piano dealer. Make sure that the piano will be able to fit through the door of your home. Bear in mind that if the piano doesn't fit, you have to find a smaller one. Once the piano is moved improperly, it can cause damage and make it out of tune.
Sometimes, used pianos are better than brand new ones. However, a buyer must be careful and smart enough in choosing a high-quality used piano for sale in many Alabama piano dealers. A high-quality second hand piano can be wide kind of investment, in terms of money and quality of music that it can produce.

A theme regularly displayed through showing humans contemplating a scene from nature, with the figures often seen from behind occupying a small space in the image. During the artists lifetime he saw appreciation of his work rise and fall, a trend that continued after his death. At present the Friedrichs reputation is high amongst critics and historians who view his work as an important forbearer to later movements.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said 1,000 members of her staff are giving medical assistance to victims of Hurricane Sandy.
Sebelius said as the National Guard continued going door-to-door to assist stranded residents in two of the hardest hit areas around New York City, and members of HHS medical teams are providing immediate, basic medical care for the residents.
Nine Disaster Medical Assistance Teams from the National Disaster Medical System equipped with medical supplies and two teams of U.S. Public Health Service commissioned corps officers remain deployed in New York and New Jersey to provide care in medical shelters and to augment hospital staff at the states' and city's request, Sebelius said.
The teams include behavioral health professionals from the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps deployed to provide mental health support in shelters and first responders. Residents also can connect with local crisis counselors through the National Disaster Distress Helpline -- a toll-free, multilingual, crisis support service via telephone at 800-985-5990 and text 'TalkWithUs' to 66746 24 hours a day.
In addition to requesting HHS medical team support, New York and New Jersey health departments have called on more than 615 medical volunteers available via two HHS sponsored programs: Emergency System for Advance Registration of Volunteer Health Professionals and local Medical Reserve Corps to assist in shelters, emergency departments, special needs registries and call centers.
At the request of the state of New Jersey, a Federal Medical Station is serving as a medical shelter at Middlesex Community College in Edison, and at the request of the state of New York, equipment from a Federal Medical Station is also in use in a New York City hospital.
HHS activated the Emergency Prescription Assistance Program to assist people in the impacted areas without any form of health insurance coverage to replace certain prescription medications and limited durable medical equipment lost or damaged in the hurricane, Sebelius said.

UCSF Scientist Wins $89M Grant to Study Anal Cancer In HIV-Infected People
By Elizabeth Fernandez | UCSF.edu | November 22, 2013
A UC San Francisco investigator has won an eight-year grant from the National Cancer Institute for a major investigation into anal cancer, a debilitating and sometimes fatal disease largely concentrated among people with HIV.
The total amount of the award over the life of the grant is projected to be approximately $89 million.
Anal cancer disproportionately affects HIV-infected men and women, but the rate of infection is rising among people who do not have HIV and without active intervention, and the number of cases is expected to continue to grow in the general population.
Like cervical cancer and some oral cancers, most cases of anal cancer are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). Vaccination has been shown to reduce the risk, but the majority of HIV-infected individuals currently at risk for anal cancer are older than age 26, do not qualify for vaccination, and may already have been exposed to the form of HPV known to cause anal cancer.
"Given these strong biological similarities, it is very possible that biomarkers and treatments identified in the study will be applicable to cervical and HPV-associated oral cancer as well," said Joel Palefsky, MD, a UCSF professor of medicine and principal investigator of the anal cancer project.
The study will focus on determining the effectiveness of treating anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), which are caused by chronic HPV infection, in reducing the incidence of anal cancer in HIV-infected men and women.
Combined with the possibility that anal cancer is preventable, the incidence of anal cancer is unacceptably high and calls for urgent intervention, Palefsky said.
"Compared with the general population, the incidence of anal cancer is increased more than 100-fold among some risk groups of HIV-infected persons, including many who are successfully treated with combination antiretroviral therapy," Palefsky said. "There is evidence that anal HSIL is the precursor to invasive anal cancer, which makes it a great target for prevention."

1950s Pleated Party Dress
Added Apr 19, 2013
by melonhead
Roanoke, Indiana...
I made this dress for the Fort Wayne Museum of Art's Funky Formal Night that was about a month ago. I wanted to create something very retro and 1950s inspired I hand drafted this dress pattern and used over 5 yards of fabric. There were so many pleats that had to be measured and hand pressed, that by the end I was ready to be done with the iron for awhile. There are 1/2'' pleats around the top of the bodice, 1'' pleats around the waist, and 1.5'' pleats around the middle of the skirt. There is also a pleated placket with buttons in the back covering the zipper.
The dress itself is a simple strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline and an invisible zipper in the back. The dress is fully lined with boning in the bodice for support. There's also a colorful tulle crinoline that I designed to pop out on purpose 2.5'' below the hemline.
There are hidden pockets in the side. Like I've said so many times before I like to have pockets in dresses. Most of the time I don't want to carry around a clutch or a bag while I'm all dressed up. I like having a place where I can stash my keys and cell phone without having to worry about carrying them all night.
More details and photos over on my blog (all photos are taken by myself): http://esther-fromthesticks.blogspot.com/2013/04/1950s-inspired-spring-party-dress.html
Also for anyone who is interested this dress is for sale in my Etsy shop as well: https://www.etsy.com/listing/129838816/1950s-pleated-party-dress?ref=shop_home_active
